Vinyl! Huzzah for the turntable!

I just about fell over when I read that the new recording will be offered on vinyl...does anyone else out there still have their turntables? I find that there's something so satisfying about actual records -- and I've found them able to put up with much more abuse than CDs (the tragic "television-dropped-on-ABBA-album-of-1978" incident is a case in point).

Jesse: I was young and foolish! This was back in the days of those portable record players that were like little suitcases, complete with tinny speakers. I had this thing set up on the floor (first bad idea), and I had a portable television on the end of my bed (second bad idea). I got up to do something, snagged the edge of the bedspread, and the tv fell off the bed onto the record player. It bounced off, leaving a large skidmark on the vinyl. I still have that record, and it doesn't even skip that much, all things considered.I promise to be much more careful with LM's new album.

I also ordered the vinyl version, even though my turntable is miles away right now, but I do plan to buy a new one with a good hi-fi system in the near future. Until then, the vinyl will be just a collectable display. On a note: I was shocked to read that the music quality of a vinyl is significantly superior to the cd! I had no idea. It makes me appreciate my small vinyl collection even more.
